My guess would be he's working on a solo HH right now followed by the next Safehold (to get it submitted in time for a Sept 2016 publish date). But those are just WAGs

Thanks. The new war god novel is Swords of the South publishing August 4th this year. Snippets now appearing in the War God forum about as frequently as HFQ snippets here.

So I guess it's the solo HH book!

"The good news is that it gives me a bigger window to work on other projects --- like the new fantasy novel and the next solo Honorverse novel --- before I need to go back to work on Safehold."

Bring on the Battle of Beowulf! We've been waiting THREE years!

(Not that I didn't enjoy all of RFC's books that have been published since ART: Shadow of Freedom, Cauldron of Ghosts, the YA treecat novels, MTaT? and LaMA, and whatever I've forgotten. It's not like RFC has taken a lengthy vacation after all...)

Sorry to necro this thread, but have we had any more news on what MWW is working on now? With SotS finished I presume he's been churning out pages for HH15. Any word on whether he intends to go back to a Spring publishing schedule for Safehold? If so then he'd probably need to have SH9 submitted around the same time HFQ releases (which I'm guessing would mean temporarily shelving HH15)

I thought MWW wrote very recently that he had started working on a sequel to Shadow of Freedom

Is there info that he is working on the follow on volume to HFQ? I hadn't heard that...

Hello Guys sorry i'm late to the posts, now from what my memory tells me, what should be on the works, a new safehold book for sure, for those of us that remembers safehold series is supposedly 1 book every september (last one it was so late that tor decided to postpone a full year) but this would mean that the next one on the series should be either written already or in the process (and from what RFC has commented and implied the series won't end with the defeat of the Go4, so we should have some more books left to read and enjoy), we know because RFC told us that he got the contract for the magnum opus of the wargod universe and it was going to be around 5 books, so he is probably also working on the second book of that series, thanks to the comments and contributions we know he is working on book 3 of the multiverse (road to hell), and in his last snippet (27) on the comments he make at the beginning RFC tell us that he has started working on the sequel to shadow of freedom meaning he is working on the main line of the honorverse.

This is what I remember, also remember that RFC go to conventions and book tours, so sometimes his writting time is limited.

Other than mentioning in the intro to snippet 27 here that he's working on the next mainline Honorverse book, RFC hasn't said much about his schedule recently. All of the novels we 'knew' he was working on last year/early this year (Safehold 8, Multiverse 3, new Norfessa series 1) are either done or mostly done. I'd guess either Safehold 9 or the sequel to Sword of the South will be next, but that's pure speculation.
